It's nice to know that Cygwin isn't the only platform plagued with fifo
woes; here's a bug in the Linux kernel handling of fifos that manifested
itself when dash was used to run the git testsuite:

You realize that your email subject gave me a nice sinking "Oh @#$*"
feeling when I saw it right? :-)
With all of the work I've put into fifos in the last couple of releases
I thought you'd found something new. It *is* nice to see Linux having
problems too. They are a lot trickier than they seem.

And Linux doesn't even have to use Windows functions to implement them...
